Bill Cosby Show Disrupted By Chanters: "We Believe The Women"

Around 30 female protesters disrupted Bill Cosby's stand-up comedy show in Hamilton, Ontario Friday night, yelling "We believe the women." The Hollywood Reporter witnessed as the comedian grimly attempted to calm his fans while police and security guards moved in to end the disruption.

Then, just as Cosby launched into his comedy act, roughly 30 women rose from their seats, removed their coats to display white t-shirts emblazoned with the words "We Believe the Women" across the front and backs to launch their protest.

Some of the women blew whistles, while others shouted down Cosby by chanting "we believe the women, we believe the women." As security waded into the audience to corral the protesters, Cosby was on his feet calling out, "Stop, stop, let them, let them, stop... let them have their say."

As security slowly made their way to the protesters, with some of the women taking smartphone videos to mark the occasion, Cosby continued to urge calm, his arms outstretched and his hands, palms down, rising and falling as if to silence the protest. Some in the audience yelled out "We believe the men," and "We love you Bill."

But that fan support only had Cosby calling out still louder, "stop, it will calm." As one young protester was escorted from the audience, she turned back to the main stage and shouted out: "Our product is steel, our strength is people," with a reference to the city of Hamilton's giant steel mills.

Then, just as calm seemed to return to the theater, a male protester rose from his seat to yell out: "You're a piece of shit. You rapist." Cosby, who now had a grim smile on his face, said "stop, no, no, don't do this," as he looked on as the security finished corralling the hecklers.

I wonder if the woman who got up to get a drink was a straight-man plant...

[DaveyB]

Is your point that some are gold diggers too?

[ansel12]

No, but you seem to think that Cosby has never raped, drugged, or sexually assaulted a woman.

[patriot08]

You believe every one of the 25 or so women are lying? ?? COSBY IS A SERIAL RAPIST PIECE OF SH*T!!!

I suppose you believe the kid rape culture gladly used unfounded accusations to destroy Jerry Sandusky with no evidence and no risk. And I’m sure you believe that those kids cried rape because of their past regrets from sex that happened in the Penn State locker room and Jerry Sandusky’s basement that happened years in the past. And I know you’re having a hard time believing that those kids needed alcohol to get it on with the big-time celebrity coach and this kid rape climate is just like the witch hysteria in 1692. How could Jerry Sandusky defend himself against it?

Now I’m sure you’re not sure if Jerry Sandusky was a serial rapist, but you want to dis-empower the kid rape hysteria and their power to destroy innocent men like Jerry Sandusky with merely an unchallenged word.

Protesters are such kind and gentle people....NOT!

When has Hollywood ever protected its own?

And where with all these rapes is the evidence? A multidecade crime spree would produce some evidence somewhere and at sometime? I have never read that during all these years, someone went in for blood work to show being drugged or a simple rape kit.

Before I jump on the Leftist lynch mob wagon, show me some actual evidence.

[ansel12]

Hollywood always sticks up for it’s own, from Michael Jackson to Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, gay stars, child molesters, boy seeking studio heads.

And this isn’t a leftist issue, and there is no vast conspiracy to harm Bill Cosby.

Why don’t you explain how such a complicated, long running, vast conspiracy would work, especially against a $400 million dollar man that can investigate and sue into oblivion anyone who tries to destroy him?

Who would be running this vast conspiracy to bring him down, involving 30 different women accusing him of groping, drugging and rape, women from various states and cities and claims involving 5 decades, and women currently in age from 24, through their mid 70s, police reports in 2000 and 2004, and an out of court settlement in 2006.

[Dante3]

Good points.

[ansel12]

Thanks.

That second mentioned police report was actually filed in 2005 (not 2004), the drugging/rape was in 2004, he settled out of court on it in 2006.

[Ophiucus]

Never said there was a vast conspiracy. I said until there is evidence I'm not joining a lynch mob.

Michael Jackson isn't Hollywood neither is Clinton, although the Left tried so hard to defend him, Polanski had to leave the country and his Hollywood career tanked as well as Woody, who was shoved to the back and his career nose-dived. Just like Hugh Grant became untouchable after his meltdown.

Nobody really cares if a star is gay or not. That's their business.

Your post 28 proves that you don’t know about this situation, it displayed ignorance, and nothing you have posted far shows anything different.

Sounds like he made a lot of money on all those tickets though, heh heh.
